11/5/2021 - rikipedia Likes this wine: 88 Points
Pale lemon with medium mousse and bubbles. A fruity nose with peach and apple and lemon blossom. Certainly Chardonnay-like.
A tight crisp very apple-y acidity greets the front palate (very malic) giving freshness, direction and mouth-watering freshness. Whilst there is a flicker of brioche and creme fraiche on the mid-palate, the wine is still more primary fruit-orientated. Linear as one would expect yet that riper lemon and peach widen out the back-palate which feels a tad short.

Clean sparkling in the traditional Champenoise Method, with notes of crisp apple, lime, and a bit of almond. Nice amount and dispersion of bubbles in mouth.
